I have cat 6 cabale and router and laptop have gbps port and also my network provider support gbps speed still my network shows me its 100 mbps any solution?

check for damaged pins in ethernet ports. gigabit uses 4 pairs and 100 meg uses 2 pairs so maybe a bad connection in one of the ports.
We have same problem. Wiggling cable in wall port will fix it up.
Test patching directly into router, not via internal cabling.
Test different cable.
Test with different laptop.Just for fun: test WiFi, preferably 5 GHz. If that nets you more than 100 mbit then your router/ISP is the issue.
Also, what do you get when testing on e.g. Speedtest.net?
large chunk of laptops are 100mb ports. for cost cutting.
cheaper to do faster chip with wifi . then a a wired chip.
The better question here are what models are your laptop and router? That would rule them out in terms of compatibility with gigabit speed.
What are you hooking your laptop up to? Make and model? And can you verify in devicemanagement that your laptop has a gigabit NIC?
Yes my nic has gigabit support i check alredy
Yeah I suspect theres a cable somewhere not playing.
I m ordering new cable for that to see what a problem
And connect it to router directly. You can have problém in Wall socket.
Good idea. Check all that may be able to influence the speed. I spent an hour scratching my head about this same problem once and it was a Cat5 (fe) cable between my switch and router - I kissed it because I kept looking at the patching on the port. If cables test out fine then go ‘upstream’.
Here are my checklist when this happens.
- Check the NIC on the machine and see if it supports 1 GBPS
- Check the ethernet wire to see if the cable is properly terminated or not.
- Check the port on the switch/router you are connecting to and see if that’s the culprit.
Check you are not going through a surge protector on the ethernet. Couple years ago for some reason the ethernet surge protector built into my power strip reduced me to 100mbps connection.
Your laptop probably has a broken ethernet port.
If the cable is good and is a direct connection between device and switch/router, then it’s a hardware issue. Gig requires all 4 pairs, 100Mbps only 2.
its cable most likely. try another one.
Are you paying for gigabit speeds?
This just happened to me today lol, turns out my old Dell laptop doesn’t have a gigabit port. Got full speed on Apple TV and new laptop.
99 times out of 100 this is an issue with the cable. Be it the one in the computer or the one in the wall.
Laptop port has problem i figure out
Almost certainly the NIC in the PC. The fact that it’s exactly 100 sounds like a misconfiguration
